Name: Populus tremuloides - Abies lasiocarpa / Pedicularis racemosa Forest
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This forest type has been described from the southern parts of the Wyoming and Salt River mountain ranges in western Wyoming. Most stands are found on cool, moderately steep, northerly slopes and are surrounded by conifer forests. The vegetation consists of a tree overstory codominated by <i>Populus tremuloides</i> and <i>Abies lasiocarpa var. lasiocarpa</i>, with a sparse undergrowth dominated by <i>Pedicularis racemosa</i>. <i>Picea engelmannii</i> and <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca</i> may also grow in the overstory. Traces of <i>Symphoricarpos oreophilus, Shepherdia canadensis, Paxistima myrsinites, Arnica cordifolia</i>, and <i>Carex rossii</i> also may grow beneath the trees. This seems to be a seral type that is replaced by <i>Abies lasiocarpa</i> forest.
